We want to make your roads safer for everyone who uses them. On State Highway 8 Burkes Pass, one of the best things we can do to prevent people from dying or being seriously injured is reduce speed limits, so they are safe and right for the road.

Speed increases both the likelihood of crashes and the severity of crashes when they happen. A small reduction in speed can make a big difference, especially when cyclists or pedestrians are involved. Most crashes are caused by a number of factors, but even when it’s not the cause of a crash, speed is most likely to determine whether anyone is killed, injured, or walks away unharmed.

Formal consultation on the new speed limit proposals is required under the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits (2017).
Before we make a decision, we want to hear from you.
